STAR-LIT

A drizzle of silvery light dripping from restive stars

etched in a softly clouded sky, to the river-bed of night,

holding us glued to obstinate sands of soft desires

moistened by jasmines heaving away from  our sight…

your sobs of despair melt into the trickles from my eyes

to send shivers of a strange happiness thro’ our spines ,

eloquent about ecstasy lying at the edge of lovers’ sighs

and showing how love for reunion ,in each cell pines…

the river awakes now to an experience of true love

in the midst of music of ripples excited by the wind

that softly caresses  us unwarranted from the hind,

in one flow the river and the lovers each other to find .
